By Thomas Carannante
Ohhhh did you think the entire basketball world was going to be gracious about Carmelo Anthony making his triumphant return to the NBA?
While Melo has to be feeling good about signing a deal with the Portland Trail Blazers, he should stay away from Twitter because many others are having a blast at his expense.
Just because he's back doesn't mean it's going to be good! Just ask Vegas.
